As / is getting filled up and I need more space in the future, I'd like to move /var to /lv1.

I thought I'll boot into my rescue system, mount / and /lv1, them move the contents of folder /var into /lv1 (currently empty) - and then I'd need the right /ec/fstab changes in order to make the quota functioning again.

I'm not sure about the mount options - plus it's a production server...

All the lv's are on top of a RAID1 /dev/md1

Any hints?

Added question: Will the links be preserved when I move stuff? Options for moving? rsync -a ?
